Patient's question:
Patient is 48 years old, will uterine fibroids disappear automatically after menopause? Can multiple uterine fibroids be treated with ultrasound?Doctor's answer:
Hello, uterine fibroids are estrogen-dependent tumors. After menopause, when estrogen levels decrease, some uterine fibroids may shrink on their own, but it's not always the case. If you are of this age and the symptoms caused by uterine fibroids are not significant, it is recommended to wait and see. If the symptoms are severe, it is advisable to seek treatment as early as possible. Treating multiple uterine fibroids in one go involves a non-surgical, non-invasive procedure that preserves the uterus, using ultrasound therapy.
